How about adding the ability to import from a blog or other website, including the pictures? I often write articles on my WordPress sites that would also make good KB content for my forums.

*sigh*

With the last update over a year ago and the author not posting here for months it's looking like this one is abandoned too...

The current "author" isnt the original and hasnt done much with it. I would recommend that another with some free time or perhaps a group takes this project on. Regardless, it is working fine for me as is. If you want modifications, I recommend rolling them yourself or directing your efforts toward finding this project a new home.

It's a good project. I like how it integrates and displays and simplifies much better than MediaWiki does as an example. Knowledgebase is a good description for it, unfortunately I think it gets lost in the noise of the Internet as a project title. I do wonder if a renaming would also be good for the project. Perhaps a "phpbb group document management system" is more in tune with what it is and how it works. And based on that, I wonder if there is other stuff out there more current and better written at this point?

I havent had much time myself to mess with it other than creating documents for my own sites. One thing that will ring true to most of you is that adding this to your forum does not suddenly populate it with data. In fact, very few users will ever contribute which may even make the concept rather moot. But if your board is very busy, you may have enough of a slice of people willing to create documents.

Yeah, I noticed that he took it over too but if he's planning on updating it that's fine....but it's been a while. I just suggested a new import feature, it was likely to be rejected anyway. That really isn't the issue.

I'm sure that it does work, for now. I just don't want to invest much time installing and adding content only to have it be worthless down the line because nobody updates it. I'm not a programmer so I have to be a little more careful what I add to my servers than others might be.

I think the name is fine, most people know what a knowledge base is or they used to at least. I'm willing to add the content but I like that members can submit content too. I just don't want waste my time if the MOD is never going to be updated and becomes incompatible with future versions. We already know that 3.1 is giving us a new Extensions system, will this be updated for that? Based on what we've seen in the last year, I'm not so sure. He was at least posting here until last November and he has been on the phpBB forums, just not on this topic. I don't know if that's a good sign or bad though.

You may want to see what t_backoff done, it doesn't have as many features but it more upto date and work

I've checked it out (I was bugging her about it before she even had a demo ) and if this one is abandoned I might *have* to go that route. Her stuff is usually updated and that's a big plus but I do like the design of this one better...and the extra features. Her solution just looks like another forum to me, this one looks like a KB. Time will tell...

Slightly off-topic, the reason my MOD doesn't have as many features or design changes is to keep it in line with the KB powering phpbb.com. A few design changes have been made, but the overall functionality and general layout are the same.

I did test this MOD out, but didn't like it as I felt it was too complex for my needs. That's why I decided to start my own. I do plan on finishing it, but have no desire to add all the features this one has or design the UI to look like this one. The only thing I would consider adding is attachments, but every time I've tried, I've failed. If someone is willing to add it, I'll credit them and include it in my MOD.

I wasn't expecting nor requesting that you make your MOD like this one, we were just talking about the differences.

Hello,

Wonder if anyone can help me. I tried installing this mod, but upon completion I was greeted with a white page. I go to my home page, I can see the link has appeared, but when I click on it, I get "Knowledge Base isn't enabled at the moment please come back later!"

Is there an error log somewhere? Where do I enable this mod?

Thanks.

[Master_Cylinder]

Most MODs are enabled in the ACP. Either in the .MODs tab or in another section. If you used automod to install it there are often instructions in the "details" link for that MOD.

I haven't installed it since it might be abandoned, so that's just a guess...

Automod. I almost forgot about that. I always do it manually -- ie the hard way.

I am concerned that this is going to be abandoned, but it really is an elegant mod and exactly what I need since I'm not looking for a lot of feature rich functions.

In addition, there appears to be an issue with the page loading after log in. One of the function.php scripts I think.

Great work Pertneer!! Hope you come back!

Many MODs have a post-install php file that has to be run, did you do that?
